Exposed: This Rolex Was Sold as Serviced-But Was it Really? The Repair You Need to See!
Просмотров 58 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video, we expose the truth behind a Rolex Datejust, calibre 3035, from 1987 that was sold as serviced-but was it really? The watch had been in the hands of its owner for six years, who wore it only occasionally. Despite this, some parts were so severely worn out that it would have taken decades of daily use for this kind of damage to occur. The seller either knew about the severe wear o...

hi,May I know your filming equipment?Camera and lenses?
Hello I have a question, if I was to get my nh35a movement serviced after say 5 years of regular use in a dive watch how much would if cost. I am planning to buy an addiesdive diver as my daaily beater
Actually I have already bought, Its just getting shipped but I am interested to know how much would It cost
Just out of curiosity, how much do you charge for a service for my Seiko SRPJ35?
I don't service watches as such. I make videos of servicing watches, that's my hobby.
This is the prettiest watch related video I have ever seen, great video quality, pleasure to hear you speak. Just wow
Thank you! Glad you liked it so much 👍
it looks fantastic
Thank you!
Superb video! we can't get anything clearer than this! Even amateurs like me could attempt to do this job with this super help. THANK YOU so much!
You can do it!
2 years on and glad I found this! Excellent tutorial 👏👏👏
Great to hear!
Hello! Can this watch be fully restored? I see powermatic 80 can not because of some plastic parts. Now, this watch also has plastic parts! Just wondering!?
Many watches have plastic parts. If you one can obtain replacement parts, it can be fully restored.
Finally! Someone (Leo) has explained what the 'swinger' does. I've been looking and looking for what this enigmatic combination of gears & lever does and now I know. Thanks Leo, I appreciate the ongoing tutorial as you service these watches. Well done.
Glad to hear you found what you were looking for 👍
Very thorough and knowledgeable approach. Great outcome despite multiple faults.
Thank you!
Enjoyed watching and subscribed. 👍 How do you keep dusk out while you’re assembling ?
Constant checking and air blowing if needed 👍
Amazing video, I'm planning to take this hobby on and my favourite watch has this movement in it, the slim turtle diver, so your video is my reference. God give you plenty of health cause wisdom you already have.
It's a great hobby! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hi, what is that wood called (it sounded like Genshin but wasn’t able to search for it) and where can you buy it? Thanks! 3:41
It's Gentian wood. If you turn the subtitles on you will see what I say 👍
So great! Loads of info and humor, perfect combo! Really nice work on the watch!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I'm glad all my watches have Quartz Movements ! They never need servicing, they are accurate and they don't go Wrong Very Often !
Yes, quartz watches make life easier. And cheaper.
@MacroTime28800 The Technology to make a tuning fork vibrate at 22,000 times per second is far more impressive than a Mechanical Watch Movement !
Thank you for the awesome and relaxing to watch video. I have a SUMO 6R15 which I had serviced at the seiko service center in NJ about 2 weeks ago. It was running massively slow and all over the place before that. After service, It seems like it is currently running about -10 to -12 per day. (Surely within spec). I was wondering, after a service, does the watch need some time to settle in? If so, do they tend to speed up a little during the settling in process? I was wondering if that -12 would speed up a bit to something even more pleasing.
Difficult to say. They should have, they might have done, put it on a rotation machine that simulates wrist movement for the movement to settle. I'd say wear it for a month or two and if you're not happy contact a watchmaker to adjust it for you.
@ thank you!
Love this video - your accent is so interesting; it’s like a combination of Dutch, Liverpudlian and a Yorkshireman.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I've been watching for quite some time and I've found your sense of humor to be a nice spoonful of sugar to help the medicine of learning the intricacies of the watch mechanics go down easier 😂. By the way, that performance monitoring software is astonishing. The more data you can collect, the better idea you have about what's going wrong (or right) in the watch. That has to be a game changer for you!
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoy my videos! The eTimer is nice. It gives you a lot more info than the Timegrapher and you can actually hear what is going on
That cam jewel is a cup bearing 😂 not surprised because anyone who's serviced a Rolex before knows that if your not careful they ping off to the third dimension because of the high Rolex tension,the movement was filthy too.great video and commentary.
The movement was a disaster. I thought I'd have an easy job, a quick video, but it never works that way! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
May I enquire, what are your recommendations about ultrasonic cleaners? Love your videos.
I use a watch cleaning machine but I also have one of these: www.cousinsuk.com/product/elma-easy-line-low-use
so plastic part actually a failsafe, thanks
That's right. You'll find plastic in Swiss watches too, for the same reason.
1:51 First of all, nice work - I wish it went that fast in reality! Now, at this time code - what are you doing there with the jewels. Is this a cleaning thing, an adjustment of some sort (endshake?) or are you possibly replacing them? It's unfortunately too fast for me to tell. Thanks!
That's an automatic oiler and I'm oling it from the uderside. This video is a cut down version of the full video with explanations and far more details I did prior to this one. If the whole process interests you, check it out: studio.ruclips.net/user/videou1mauXZilfA/edit
Hats off to you Sir . ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Many thanks for the information, very clear!
Glad it was helpful!
Which is more durable Seiko or citizen?
Sorry I don't know
Top job sir❤😂🎉
Thank you!
Thanks. I've just discovered your channel. I've my Sarb017 like yours from 2013, and never been serviced.. seems for now goes well, but when will be time to service I would love to you service my watch... but unfortunately I'm far from you.. hope to find a good watchmaker near me :) Have a good day. You gained a new subscriber. Cheers from Italy :)
I think it's time to get it serviced. The parts start wearing out and it gets more expensive! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my video!
@MacroTime28800 😩😭 thanks. I use it only few times in a year... Do you think still need to be serviced?
The oils/greases would have dried out. If you were wearing it daily, that would bad. Not so bad if you only wear it occasionally but 11 years with no service, it probably could do with a service. If you look at my Rolex video, you'll see how many parts were worn out and they all needed replacing.
هذا واحد من أروع ما شاهدته من فيديوهات إصلاح الساعات و الذي جمع كل الصفات من حنكة و إتقان و موهبة و ثبات و فن و أناقة و ذوق و تميز في التعامل مع أدق التفاصيل بصبر و تأني و حب و حنان.... إنه الكمال في أبهى حلله و صفاته. أحييك عزيزي على تميزك و علو كعبك... ♥️👍🇲🇦
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it!
salutations from clickspring <3
Thank you!
This video was a fantastic resource. if you could do one for the NH34A Movement that would be incredibly helpful.
If I get to work on one, I'll do a video. They are very similar, hopefully this one should help you out 👍
Is there a reamer tool only that’s available to buy? I only see combo units that have everything.
Horia probably does one, email them
More videos like this please :) Amazingly in-depth with great close ups. I want to learn how to use all of the watch making tools with videos like this.
There are more like this on my channel
Please shut up and just do the job
The service knowledge you have makes this almost seem effortless. Then again, looking at the movement size alone is amazing to see how calm and collected you are throughout the entire process. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😉
Fantastic watch and restoration.
Thank you!
Amazing tutorial, and tremendous info about watches thanks sir.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
That grease is just insanely priced. More than human plasma!
Everything in watch repair is expensive 😫
@@MacroTime28800 Oh I know. I've recently started learning myself, but this grease... damn!
I've just found this. Amazing I love it, it taught me so much. I've just started and done a few Seiko movements. This video just illustrates how merger my efforts are! Butt with these types of videos to follow I can only get better! Thank you sooo much. Regards. Mike @ newforestwatches
Glad you found it helpful!
What a phenomenal video! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain what it was that you were doing, I like to be able to watch and learn at the same time.
Glad it was helpful!
sooo.... should I use lighter fluid to clean the jewels? lol
Lol, definitely not! You could use it as the first rinse/wash to save some money but then I'd rinse it in a proper horological fluid.
New subscriber here 👍
Thank you!
Very helpful Leo! Thanks for the video.
My pleasure!
Super Video
Thank you!
Excellent and very informative video 👍🙏 and a great movement from Seiko. How much difference is there between this and the 7S26? Is it just the lack of handwinding? The 7S26 also has day/date complications.
There are hardly any differences between the modern Seiko movements. They are all very much the same with a few little differences 👍
Excellent. Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for your video. I’m struggling trying to get the escapement wheel in place. No matter how I try, the wheel only stays in place for a moment, before losing contact with the train wheel. Is that normal or maybe something is broken?
I presume the pivots are OK. If that's the case, make sure it's in the jewel in the mainplate, put the bridge on but don't push the bridge down, guide the pivots in the bridge, slowly lowwering the bridge making sure all pivots are in
Great job and your work is awesome 👍🏼😎
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent instructional video! I like the "bargain" braking grease! 🤣I have been using Moebius 8217, it's all expensive. The Kluber grease probably does a better job. Great tip on what mainspring winder sizes to use for Seiko.
The Kluber is the stickiest grease I came across 👍
awesome channel! awesome videos! looking forward to more!!
Thanks so much!! I'm working on another video 😉
Brilliant that’s all I can say
Thank you!
